2 Best Restaurants in Jackson, Jackson Hole and Northwest Wyoming

The best seating at this rustic-contemporary bakery café a short stroll east of Jackson Town Square is on the spacious, shaded deck overlooking lively Broadway Avenue. Choose from an extensive menu of eclectic breakfast and lunch fare, including egg peperonata, brioche French toast with seasonal fruit compote, and one of the best jambon-beurres you'll find outside of Paris. At the very least, you need to try a plain croissant, made with 100-percent European butter. Persephone is a good, albeit pricey, stop for pre-sightseeing picnic supplies, too. There's another location in Wilson, too.

Smoked pork shoulder served with an array of house sauces and mouthwatering prime beef brisket are the specialties at this busy barbecue joint, which evokes the Old West with its wooden booths, Western paintings, and antique signs. Sandwiches and salads (try the homemade barbecue ranch dressing) are also available. This is also one of the best breakfast options in Jackson, but there can be long waits in summer or winter. Desserts include homemade chocolate buttermilk pie and ice cream.
